(A VGG Labs Report)
Tired of "talk to the hand," bored with "bling-bling," and attacked by apathy from "all your base," the intrepid researchers at VGG Labs set out earlier this month on a verbal expedition. Their mission? To identify the "anti-catchphrases," those English phrases used least often by everyday people.
Many of these phrases have never been spoken aloud; others have never actually even been thought. All are untested, and should not be used in daily conversation without protection.
